I expect a better course from the University of Minnesota. some of the links are not working, The formulas in some of the pdfs have crashed, and the PDFs need to be regenerated. The week six quiz has only three questions, and the passing rate is 70%. Making one mistake does not allow you to reach 70%, so set it to 100% or add one more question. This kind of course affects Coursera's reputation.
